賴惠川竹枝詞運用口語、俗諺入詩，是他創作的主要基調之一，因此俗諺在賴氏竹枝詞中，其運用入詩的狀況為何？成為本文的研究動機。本文從賴惠川竹枝詞運用俗諺入詩的「內容呈現」、「表現形式」、「寫作特色」等三面向進行論述。從這些論述內容，我們又可獲得三項訊息：第一，從運用俗諺入詩的內容，可以了解賴惠川某些人生態度及處世哲學；第二，從運用俗諺入詩的表現形式，可以了解《悶紅墨屑》到《續悶紅墨屑》創作動機的差異；第三，可以看出賴惠川對於民間文學的活用，提供民間文學與作家文學進行融合的舞台。同時我們也發現，大量運用俗諺入詩，呈顯出「言外之意」、「理外之理」，反映出社會現況，並且批判世道人心，這樣的創作目標以及寫作手法，也成就其竹枝詞重要的價值與特色。
